Yat Wit: Chicken Gumbo for the New Orleans Soul

By Yvonne Perret

Book Overview

A yat is a resident of one of several New Orleans neighborhoods whose phraseology and pronunciation are distinctive (from where y'at?). This collection of humorous essays explores how New Orleans words confound computer spell-check programs, how to experience your first Mardi Gras, how to comport yourself at a crawfish boil, and many other endearing aspects of life in the Crescent City.
